On this morning, the people of a remote street in the capital saw a strange scene.

First of all, early in the morning, a bunch of people were babbling, making a big noise, a few small sedan chairs stopped in front of the small house, hula four or five servants, large bags of gifts to move in.

The young lady who had always lived in the courtyard and rarely traveled with people greeted her in person, and a gorgeously dressed woman appeared in the current sedan chair, and a series of affectionate calls were heard all over the street.

Such a noisy and noisy scene actually provoked pedestrians on the street, many of whom looked sideways, and the neighbors left and right couldn't help but open the door to see the excitement, and estimated in their hearts that this was a rich and powerful relative who came out of nowhere. Looking at the intimacy, I don't know how close it is.

How do you know, it has not been an hour since people entered, and the idlers who had seen the bustle outside were still guessing what kind of big man was coming, and they heard a loud bang, and the door of the small mansion was pushed open by a force that seemed to break through the door, and the lady who walked in with a smile on her face not long ago came out under the escort of a group of servants with a blue face, and the things that had just moved in, and saw these people, the same, and moved out again.

The lady stood at the gate with her empty hands, no need to do anything, and was not idle, pointing to the door and scolding: "It's not the same person, don't enter the door, the husband and wife are all brutes, really think that your husband is great when he becomes a marshal, that kind of offends everyone in the world." The lonely marshal, that is, you who don't know whether to live or die, want to be. You don't mean us, I don't care about you, we are kind, you are mud, then you can stay in this ghost place by yourself, and be your lonely marshal's wife. ”

She pointed to the door and scolded Mrs. Lu, who had never gone out much. But he still stood politely at the door to see him off, and a poor pregnant woman with a big belly stood in front of the door with a white face, allowing people to be so bullied, and a few foreign servants were carrying things. Beside her, she walked straight through, and if it weren't for the protection of a rough maid, she was afraid that she would not be knocked to the ground.

No matter how angry and scolded Mrs. Rena, she just quietly and silently did her master's gift in a humble but not humble manner.

Although the neighbors around her are not familiar with her, they have always said that she rarely goes out and talks to her, and she heard that her husband is an official. But he never takes a shelf, and he has a good impression of the young lady who is very reasonable. Seeing her suffer such humiliation, I can't help but feel a little unjust.

Everyone couldn't help but ask each other: "Who is that woman?" is so fierce, where does the noble lady come from. ”

"What noble lady, although we are poor people, but we are also people who have been born and raised in the capital for decades, we have also seen noble people, where would the real nobles make such an ugly appearance, I am afraid that I don't know where the nouveau riche appeared. I don't know if I bought an official or made a fortune, and I was so arrogant and rude. ”

Although there is a lot of sympathy. But most people still follow the principle of life of each person sweeping the snow in front of the door, so at most they will discuss a few words in private and send a few grievances.

"That Mrs. Lu is really pitiful, it is desolate without her husband by her side, so people are deceived to come to the door, and I have to endure it."

"I heard that his husband is still an official?"

"What's wrong with the officials, half of the officials in this capital are officials, and the officials can't even protect their wives, this kind of man, I'm afraid it's not as good as my Wang Er's one who kills pigs."

In the whispers of the people, the group of people who came to the lively scene went back to noisy again.

Su Wanzhen insisted on standing in front of the door, bowing and saluting, until Mrs. Su's palanquin was far away, before turning back. Yahuan Shen'er closed the door with tears in her eyes and hurried over to help her.

Originally, when Mrs. Su entered the door, she pointed to the east and west and said that this place should be sorted out, and there should be changed, and she said that she had brought this and that good things to place, but she was only halfway through the place, and suddenly turned her face and greeted someone to leave. The table had only moved two steps, let go out of thin air, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the chair could be moved, and before it could find a good place to put it, it was thrown away, and the vase had just moved its position, and the sound of breaking was not heard by these people.

In addition, the gifts that were just brought in and were about to be placed around, Hulala had to move out all of them all at once, and everyone was on a rampage, kicking and trampling on countless things.

Looking at this mess, Xiao Yahuan couldn't help crying: "Madam, why are they so unreasonable, what are you doing with them so politely?" ”

Su Wanzhen's tone was still as calm and plain as she could: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, I make her unhappy, and it is appropriate to be reprimanded by her, but I can't be rude to my sister-in-law." ”

"Even if the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, what is there that can't go with her, she said it well at the beginning, why did she turn her face all of a sudden."

"My brother and sister-in-law have a fate, if I can obey it, how can I disobey it. If it is my business, it is wronged in every way, and I naturally do not dare to reckon, but this is a matter of national affairs and important affairs in the army. "I can't share my worries for him, I'm ashamed, how can I make him more troubled for some personal friendship, not to mention that General Feng, although I didn't have the opportunity to see him, I also know that he is a sincere person, a good friend and friend of my father-in-law, and I will never hurt people for no reason, if I practice military law, I want to make sense, how can I be for the life of my brother and sister-in-law, the major affairs of my family and country, and the righteousness of my confidant."

"Even so, you don't have to say no, you should come down first, and then slowly turn back in the future, why bother to turn your face like this. Besides, madam, you are about to give birth, how can you not have a relative around to take care of you. ”

Su Wanzhen smiled faintly: "Silly girl, that's my brother and sister-in-law, even if I can't accept them, naturally I shouldn't lie and deceive and delay, how can I use such means on my relatives." When I was waiting to give birth, it was natural to have relatives with me, but I disdained the care that I received from begging for mercy. What's more, although my sister-in-law should be respected, but after I rejected her, between her words, there were many insults to the public, my husband is a gentleman and a gentleman, for the country and the people, although I am a woman, I will never allow people to say right and wrong in front of me, I should be frank to send off guests, how can there be any more reason to be merciful and compassionate. ”

Shen'er lowered her head and didn't speak, she was a rough maid who didn't know anything, what a bright and graceful bone, she hadn't seen it, and she didn't know what it was, but she didn't understand what the lady said about being a marshal for the country and the people, and going to defend the border as a marshal, why

Nor can a pregnant wife be protected.

At this time, Su Wanzhen had been helped back to the room by her, and said with a smile: "It's a mess everywhere, you go and clean it up, I can take care of myself here." ”

Shen'er also saw that there was a mess everywhere, and knew that it was not good to delay, so he turned around and came out and sorted it out everywhere.

Su Wanzhen originally wanted to help, but first, she couldn't do heavy work now, and second, she just packed up a few small things, and then she felt that her limbs were all sore, and she was extremely tired physically and mentally, so she couldn't move any more, so she had to hold on to the wall with one hand, and slowly walked to the bed step by step, a short body, sat on the bed, leaned on the bedpost, and sat in a daze for a while, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Early in the morning, I heard the noise outside the hospital, the noise and shouting, and the emotion when I was surprised to see my relatives, still in my heart, my sister-in-law said and laughed, holding hands and caring for the enthusiasm, still at the fingertips, and how to know that in the blink of an eye, the picture was poor, and the truth of hundreds of miles of running was embarrassing. I knew this earlier, and I would rather not see it, but I also saved this pain and pain.

Only she knows how much her heart hurts when she hears her sister-in-law's true intentions, only she knows how hurt she feels when she gritted her teeth and said her refusal, and when she faced her relatives who suddenly changed their faces, only she knew how deep she suffered when she stood in front of the door and listened to the cruel words spoken by her loved ones.

It's just that she was born a quiet and gentle person, and she has always respected herself and self-disciplined, and this pain and sadness refused to even show it in front of the girl, so she held on so hard. It wasn't until there was no one around me that I suddenly felt tired, and I suddenly felt deeply tired and hurt, and then I knew that it had been all the time, just such a person, holding on. Guarding, waiting, she was so tired.

After sitting in such a daze for a long time, she gently picked up the long robe at the head of the bed that she had spent countless days and nights to make for her husband. Dongli, when will you come back?

Tears fell silently on the clothes, and in the blink of an eye, there was no trace.

"Ma'am, ma'am, no." An old and frightened voice came from outside.

Su Wanzhen was slightly stunned, then she braced herself up and walked outside the room, but saw the old man at home who was helping to support her. Walking briskly, he shouted in a panic, "Madam." Didn't you tell me to go out and gather more good wine and food to greet the eldest lady? I heard it in the market. The battle at Dingyuan Pass began, and Chen's army attacked. ”

Su Wanzhen's whole body trembled, and there was no trace of blood on her face. In a state of distraction, the long robe that had stained her heart with tears and blood on her fingers, and was tailored for the person outside Qianli Guan Mountain, fell to the ground without any support, stained with dust.

"Ma'am. What happened to you. The pendant pounced.

The old man also hurried over. I don't know if I should reach out and help each other.

Su Wanzhen suddenly hugged her stomach and wailed, and her sweat was immediately dense, and her forehead was full.

Shen'er was so frightened that she almost cried: "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you, don't scare Shen'er." ”

"I, I hurt...... I ......" Su Wanzhen was also speechless, "I ...... Kid ......"

"Oh my God, it's not going to give birth." The old man was also half frightened, "I heard that women are frightened and will be born prematurely." ”

"I'm afraid the child is going to come out." Su Wanzhen's whole body trembled in pain.

The old man jumped up: "I'll go and ask Wen Po." He turned around and ran away.

The rest of the pendant, a rough maid who had never experienced such a thing, was so frightened that she could only cry.

Su Wanzhen had to reluctantly ask her to help her back to the room, lie down, and then tell her to go to the kitchen to boil water.

Shen'er was at a loss, so she could only nod vigorously and hurriedly go to the kitchen.

Su Wanzhen was alone, struggling and screaming in pain, shouting "East Fence, East Fence ......" but no one heard it.

I don't know if it was pain, injury, or worry, her tears fell like rain, her hair was wet, and her pillow towel was dyed, but no one saw it.

The long dress that she dragged her pregnant body and sewed for Lu Dongli with all her heart fell in front of the stairs, and no one picked it up.

That year, on a very cold morning in the capital, Su Wanzhen was frightened and gave birth prematurely, and it was a difficult birth, and it hurt for a day and a night before giving birth to a weak baby boy.

On that day and night, she didn't have a single family member by her side. That day and night, she screamed all over the place, her throat was hoarse and bleeding, but no one could answer her. She stretched out her hands in pain, grasping weakly in the air, but she could never grasp her husband's hand.

But she still seems lucky. After such terrible pain, and with anxiety about her husband's life and death, she survived and did not die in such a difficult birth, as many unfortunate women do.

It's just that this day and night of torment completely destroyed her body, and after that, she was bedridden for a full year before she could barely recover. It's just that it's no longer as healthy as it used to be.

However, before the child was full moon, she had already reluctantly supported herself to get up from the hospital bed and write letters.

At this time, the news of the defeat of Chen's army in Dingyuan Pass had already come from the capital, and she was at peace in her heart, so she couldn't wait to tell Lu Dongli the good news of the birth of Lin'er as soon as possible, and she should also ask her husband to name the child as soon as possible.

Thousands of miles away, when Lu Dongli received the letter from his wife and the winter clothes sent with the letter, he was also so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.

It's just that he didn't know that it took Su Wanzhen two days to write that short family letter. She refused to let Lu Dongli know that she was sick, lest she be weak in her writing, so she asked her husband to see the clues, and she was writing a word, resting for a long time, recovering her mental strength slightly, and then writing down a word.

The paper is full of gentle and beautiful words, all written are the love of the child, the love of the child, the question is all the warmth of the husband, and there is not a word of it, mentioning the hellish torment of that day and night, the cold and thin family affection that comes and goes, makes people's hearts bitter, not to mention, it will make her a whole year, lingering on the sickbed, and will also make her weak and sick all her life.
